For January 2024 several of us will be participating in the “30-Day 6 Degrees of Separation Coach4aday Challenge”-today we learn about WALTER DELANO and FDR.

Occasionally, we tend to believe that a black sheep only resides in our own family tree. In reality, if you delve deep into anyone’s genealogy, flawed personalities seem to be a common thread throughout history. That is the case with one US President who had Walter Delano as a grandfather.

Rules of the Challenge

Many people have heard of this concept. The notion of six degrees of separation grew out of work conducted by the social psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s. It then became a 1993 film named appropriately “Six Degrees of Separation.”

Organizing a six degrees of separation challenge involves creating a chain of people, each connected to the next by a mutual acquaintance. The goal is to demonstrate that any two people in the world can be connected through a chain of six or fewer personal connections.

How to Participate

Here is how to participate:

Identify the First and Last Person in the Chain.
